So as excited as I was to get into building my own watch I seem to have made the rookie mistake of getting the keyless works lever pin stuck on my ETA 2824 clone. Having watched Mark's video wherein he repairs a Breitling 2824 I thought it would be a simple fix but I cannot seem to get the screws on the rear or dial side undone except for the rotor screw. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried a horotec 1.2 and 1.0mm screwdriver but both seem to slip, maybe I'm not applying enough downward force onto the screw?

 

Any input is massively helpful to someone as new as me!

 

Thanks,

JP

Hmm I might try sharpening them with a wet stone but assumed they would be sharp enough brand new

Could the screw driver tips be too blunt?they may be of correct width, but not "sharp" enough to engage the screw slots.

Once you've checked your screwdriver blades to ensure they're square and sharp try this technique for holding the screwdriver when it comes to a stubborn screw...

Assuming you're right handed then with your right hand hold near the blade end with your thumb and fourth finger whilst having downwards pressure with your forefinger. This is now a steady 'platform' for seating the screwdriver on the screw and applying appropriate solid downward force too. Now with your left hand twist the screwdriver.

Sorry for not responding, I use Tapatalk on mobile and it doesn't seem to give notifications... I managed to sort it by sharpening the blades a bit and a bit more pressure resulted in all of them coming loose pretty easily and I managed to fix the keyless works! The yoke had slipped out too so I simply reinstalled the parts using Mark's latest video as a guided and everything seems to be going well! Thank you all for the suggestions :)

      Rare Seiko 5actus Watch??!! With a lot🤪🤔😲

      By Kkramme · Posted

      Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪

      I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.

      Sterling fusee info wanted.

      By markr · Posted

      Any info on this watch would help. I know that it's sterling from London but I could not match the o letter date or make out makers mark.  Is the movement maker Camberwell or Lamberwell?   If I give it a twist it will run for about ten seconds.  $45 yard sale find.  I don't think that I want to service a fusee.  What quality is it?
